nately, and thus form spaces 0' at the ends to The structure of the conductor is shown in riveted together. This laminated form seequally well in a straight or curved portion Figs. 5 and 6 and is built up of tlnn strips I cures the advantage of reduced eddy or cross 1 currents in the conductor and likewise makes them flexible. The separate strips are stamped out of thin sheet-copper. The stampings A and B are of the form shown in Figs. 7 and 8 and are similar to each other except that A is shorter than B and has a longer extension 7) at one end. The difference in length of the stampings and the length of the extension 7) on A over p on B is equal to the width of the stampings. The bend l is stamped out in the strips A B, as shown. Each conductor is built of a number of stampings, four being shown, two of the form A and two of the These are placed together alterreceive corresponding extensions of the conductor to which it is to be connected. The conductor shown in Fig. 5 corresponds to that extending from a to c and the conductor shown in Fig. 6 corresponds to that extending from 0 to e. The conductors are provided with holes s s and are riveted together by rivets If 6. After the strips are stamped out and the holes .5 s punched the conductor is built up and the rivets t, which are inserted in holes x, are headed up and the ends of the strips tinned. Before being placed on the core that end of the conductor in which the bend Z and extensions j) p are formed is bent at m and 0 to its final shape. The-bends f and it are formed by hand after the conductor is in place on the core and the joints are then riveted up by rivets t in the holes 5 and are well soldered. It is evident that the joint thus formed gives large surface contact, and therefore good conductivity and is uniform in appearance with the rest of the conductor. The end connections are held in place on the shelves 4 by band-wires 8, a sheet of insulating material 9 being located between the bandwires and the end connections. The conductors are insulated from the core and from each other by use of the customary materials.

Vith reference to the winding generally it is seen that a single bar per slot is used and that the end connections lie close to the periphery of the core, as shown in Fig. 3, one portion thereof, from (t to 2 lying the same distance from the axis as the bars themselves and the other portion, from c to Z, lying nearer the axis by a distance approximately equal to the depth of the conductor.

While we have described our winding as applied to the rotor of an induction-motor, we do not limit ourselves to this specific application, as our invention may be equally well ap plied to armature-windings generally whether applied to the rotating or stationary part of the machine. Likewise our novel form of joint could be used in any winding in which laminated conductors are used and can be used of the conductor.
